Nonvolatile Memory

The SDK provides nonvolatile memory for storing application parameters.

• If you use a one-time programmable (OTP) chip, the storage is 256 bytes of EEPROM.
• If you use a flash memory chip, the SDK requires 4 KB of flash memory to enable 256-byte incremental storage, producing a similar outcome as EEPROM.

Overview

Concepts

Features

Call API operations on 256-byte EEPROM. When the chip does not have EEPROM, the bottom layer will simulate the EEPROM implementation with 16 sectors of 256 bytes each.

It is recommended for the application layer to store short data, such as light on/off status, rather than large amounts of data.

Data structure

No external data structure.

API description

The requirements for offset:

• HS256_USER ≤ offset < 256
• offset must be a multiple of eight.

Example

Check the demo tuyaos_demo_beaconmesh_peripheral.

void app_led_reset_run(beacon_dev_s *beacon_dev){
    static u8 reset_judge_time = 1;
    static u8 state = STATE_NOT_PAIRED;
    static u32 count_1s_time = 0;
    static u32 count_1s = 0;

    u8 cnt;

    if(beacon_dev->state == STATE_PAIRED){
        if(reset_judge_time != 0){//300ms~6S
            if(hal_clock_time_exceed(0,reset_judge_time*300000)){//300MS
                if(reset_judge_time == 1){
                    reset_judge_time = 20;
                    if(0 == hal_storage_256_read_bytes(HS256_USER, &cnt,1)){//success
                        if(cnt > RESET_MAX_CNT)cnt = 0;
                    }else{
                        cnt = 0;
                    }

                    cnt++;
                    if(cnt >= RESET_MAX_CNT){
                        cnt = 0;
                        ty_beacon2_node_reset(0,180000000);
                        //app_led_blink(0xFF);
                        reset_judge_time = 0;
                    }
                    hal_storage_256_write_bytes(HS256_USER, &cnt,1);
                }else if(reset_judge_time == 20){
                    reset_judge_time = 0;
                    cnt = 0;
                    hal_storage_256_write_bytes(HS256_USER, &cnt,1);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Use one byte at offset 1 in the user area to store the count of power cycles within a short period. This is used to implement the logic that triggers a device reset after three power cycles.

Functional testing

Prerequisites

Enable logging.

Procedure

1. Write the code to read and write data and verify that the data can be correctly read after writing.
2. Write the code to read and write data and verify that the data can be correctly read after writing and a power cycle.
3. Write the code to read and write data and verify that the device works correctly after 100,000 read-and-write operations.
